"stuck on stupid"

[Mullins, Bill]

 Lt. Gen Russell Honore recently told some reporters not to get "stuck
on stupid", a phrase which is growing through the blogosphere and
elsewhere.  Look for it to show up more.  This is classic Honore --
direct and to the point.

The earliest I find it in ProQuest is in a 1996 headline from the
Michigan Chronicle (an African American newspaper).  Most of the other
cites are also from Black sources (Chicago Defender, Afro-American Red
Star, etc.).  This white boy never heard the phrase until this week --
is it used regularly in AAVE?
